True Lemon

I must admit - I'm a flavored water kinda girl. I like both the kind that's already bottled, like Dasani Plus or Fruit2O, and the kind you mix yourself (a la Crystal Light ), because they not only taste good but they get me to drink more water as well. I like sampling different the different beverage flavors, but sometimes I just want to drink something a little less sweet. True Lemon offers just that.

I discovered True Lemon packets sometime in college, and I have been a devotee ever since. These packets are like your own portable lemon in the form of a powder. Each packet contains only citric acid, lemon juice, lemon oil, maltodextrin, and ascorbic acid (Vitamin C), with 0 calories and 25% of the RDA for Vitamin C. There are no sweeteners, so adding one of these guys to your water is like squeezing a slice of lemon into it then.
